The Great Bitcoin Short Squeeze of 2025: Bulls Take Over!

by

Well, well, well. It looks like Bitcoin has decided to take its bear market for a long, relaxing holiday and leave the bulls to run rampant. Just when everyone thought the cold, bleak bear market would never end, Bitcoin decided to throw a *massive* tantrum, liquidating shorts like they were popcorn at a movie theatre. In just one day, a delightful $618 million worth of liquidations occurred, and an impressive $317 million of that was just from Bitcoin. Who knew a cryptocurrency could throw a tantrum that costly? 📉

According to the ever-helpful folks at Coinglass, there’s been a little more than a “high-leverage tango” going on, especially on exchanges like Binance and Bybit. Bitcoin decided to surge like it had something to prove, blasting past resistance levels faster than a wizard running from a dragon. Naturally, all those poor short sellers had their stop losses and margin calls obliterated, as evidenced by the delightful concentration of liquidation zones around $92,000-$94,000. The kind of numbers that’ll make your wallet cry. 💸

Now, if you want to get technical (and who doesn’t?), Bitcoin is currently sitting pretty above $93,800, having sliced through a number of moving average resistances like a hot knife through butter. We’re talking about the 50, 100, and 200-day EMAs. The chart could give a stockbroker whiplash, and the bullish narrative? Oh, it’s just getting started. Bitcoin’s on its way to the psychological barrier of $100,000, a number that will make anyone with a calculator sweat with anticipation. 📊

According to the liquidation heat map (which, let’s be honest, sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie), there’s basically nothing standing in Bitcoin’s way until it hits that $100,000 mark. The market sentiment has switched faster than a sorcerer’s apprentice. Sure, the RSI (Relative Strength Index for those not up to date on their crypto lingo) is edging towards “overbought” territory, but who cares about that when you’ve got liquidations driving prices faster than a broomstick on caffeine? 🤷‍♂️

So, what’s next? Well, it seems that the road ahead is as clear as a freshly polished crystal ball. The bears? Pfft, they’re a distant memory, their high-leverage shorts crushed underfoot like forgotten snack wrappers. Bitcoin’s up, and unless some unforeseen disaster (like, say, the sky falling or the price of tacos going up) changes things, Bitcoin’s heading to the moon. This could very well be remembered as the day the bears lost, and Bitcoin started its glorious ascent to even greater heights. 🚀
